hi
great way to get every ounce of lotion
out of those plastic squeeze tubes
when you can't squeeze out the last
of your lotion, hair product & lip gloss
put the cap back on and cut the
bottom off half way and just scoop
out what you need.
sometimes alittle goes a long way
cover with plastic wrap
or a clothespin to close and you'll have
enough to use for two or three more times.

I do that too! I usually sit the lotion tube in hot water upside down so it will all run to the end before I cut it.

We do this too and for the larger, hard plastic bottles,
after cutting off the bottom we just put them in a large zip lock
bag or cover with a large piece of plastic wrap and a rubber band.
Love the saying: "Necessity is the mother of invention" as we've
had to rely on that more than once.
Thanks for sharing that Deborah!
